Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Structure of the 6-methyloctanal should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
(b)
Interpretation:
Chirality center of the 6-methyloctanal should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Chirality is the presence of an asymmetric carbon center in a molecule and a molecule which contains a chiral center cannot superimpose on its mirror image.
In the above diagram, where C is the chiral center/ asymmetric carbon center.
A, B, D, E are four different
(c)
Interpretation:
The product should be identified by the reaction of 6-methyloctanal with
Concept Introduction:
Addition of H2gas to a multiple bond is known as hydrogenation. Aldehydes and ketones which are considered as carbonyl compounds, undergo reduction reactions in the presence of
In below diagram R is an alkyl group in aldehyde and

- List the following compounds in order of increasing water solubility: a.ethoxyethane b.propanoic acid c.pentane d.1 butanolarrow_forwardTHC is the active component in marijuana, and ethanol is the alcohol in alcoholic beverages. Explain why drug screenings are able to detect the presence of THC but not ethanol weeks after these substances have been introduced into the body. CH3 OH CH;CH2-OH ethanol CH3 ČH3 (CH),CH3 tetrahydrocannabinol THCarrow_forwardEthyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange and pineapple. Its fragrance and taste are often associated with fresh orange juice, and thus it is most commonly used as orange flavoring.It can be produced by the reaction of butanoic acid with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst (H+): CH3CH2CH2CO2H(l)+CH2CH3OH(l)H+⟶CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3(l)+H2O(l). The chemist discovers a more efficient catalyst that can produce ethyl butyrate with a 78.0% yield. How many grams would be produced from 8.50 gof butanoic acid and excess ethanol? Express your answer in grams to three significant figures.arrow_forward
